+1 for moving the snap directory to a more standard place and hiding it.
The way I see it, you have two choices for a folder like this (and all
other software I use conforms to this):

1. Make it non-configurable and hide it in a standard, widely accepted location 
(~/.<whatever>, .local/<whatever>, .config/<whatever>)
2. Make it user-configurable.

Or you could get really crazy and do both.

But creating a visible, non-configurable folder directly in the user's
home dir is just plain bad. You'll get nothing but complaints. People
who don't like it there or want it spelled with an upper case 'S' or
want to call it 'Applications' or something. This is actually worse than
littering the file system with loop devices. :-P
